Frequently asked
questions.

Yes. Both DupExplorer and MonyExplorer are native apps for macOS and Windows. One license covers both platforms — if you switch machines or use both, your purchase applies to either.

No. Both apps are fully offline. The only internet requirement is the initial license activation when you purchase. After that, everything runs locally — no network calls, no sync, no cloud dependency.

A single license allows installation on up to 2 devices (e.g., your laptop and desktop). If you need more, please get in touch and we can work something out.

Yes — all updates within the current major version are free. The app checks for updates automatically and notifies you when one is available. You choose when to install.

DupExplorer never deletes anything without your review. After scanning, it shows every duplicate group and lets you confirm exactly what to remove. The Smart Bulk Delete also shows a preview before acting. Deleted files go to your system Trash by default — not permanently removed until you empty Trash.

30+ formats including audio (MP3, FLAC, AAC, OGG, WAV, M4A), video (MP4, MOV, MKV, AVI, WMV), and images (JPEG, PNG, HEIC, TIFF, BMP, GIF, RAW). Detection is content-based — not filename-based — so renamed duplicates are always caught.

Yes. You can add as many folders as you like to a scan session — including external drives, USB drives, and network-mounted volumes. All folders are scanned in parallel for speed.

Files are compared using a cryptographic hash of their full byte content. Two files that produce the same hash are byte-for-byte identical, regardless of filename, location, or metadata. This means renamed, moved, or re-tagged duplicates are always detected accurately.

No. MonyExplorer is entirely manual and local. You enter transactions yourself, or import them via CSV (which most banks allow you to export). There is no bank connection, no Plaid, no credentials stored anywhere.

Yes. MonyExplorer supports CSV import from most banks and financial institutions. Download your statement as CSV from your bank's website, then import it directly. The app will map columns and attempt to auto-categorise transactions.

All data is stored in an encrypted local database on your machine. Nothing is sent to any server. The database path is shown in Settings so you can back it up however you prefer.

23 currencies including USD, GBP, EUR, AUD, CAD, INR, JPY, CNY, CHF, SGD, NZD, HKD, NOK, SEK, DKK, MXN, BRL, ZAR, AED, SAR, KRW, THB, and IDR. Exchange rates are entered manually to keep everything offline.
